Falch Gets Away With a Big Bluff

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Fotios Panagopoulos raised to 1,600 in early position and Aleksander Falch three-bet to 5,000 in middle position. Jesu Rozat called in the small blind, while Panagopoulos got out of the way.

The flop came A♣Q♥6♦ and Rozat led out for 5,000. Falch called to the 8♦ turn, where Rozat bet another 5,000. Falch again called.

Rozat once again bet 5,000 on the 3♣ river, but this time Falch shoved forward his entire stack of several mismatching towers, even knocking some of his chips on the floor. It was a bet of around 25,000, but Rozat quickly folded and Falch showed 10♠2♥ as he took the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player on the button was already all in as Sergio Dantas and Adrian Ibanescu went to the 9♣8♣A♠ flop with around 15,000 in the pot.

Dantas then bet 3,000 from middle position and Ibanescu called in the hijack. Dantas then bet 11,000 on the K♣ turn, and that was enough to chase away Ibanescu.

Dantas showed 5♣4♣ for a turned flush and his opponent was already drawing dead with Q♥4♥. The river was the 8♥ and Dantas scooped the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Gabi Livshitz just fired his second bullet today and raised to 1,800 in early position. Paul Kristoffersson then three-bet to 5,500 on the button and Livshitz called.

The flop came Q♠9♣4♦ and Kristoffersson bet another 4,500. Livshitz snap-folded.

The next hand, Krostoffersson raised to 1,800 in the cutoff and Patrick Gaonach called in the big blind.

The flop was an eerily similar Q♠9♣4♥. "Queen-nine-four rainbow is haunting me today," Livshitz said, explaining that he had busted the High Roller earlier today on the same board.

Kristoffersson then bet another 1,800 and Gaonach called. Kristoffersson then bet 4,500 on the 6♠ turn and Gaonach folded this time.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player in the cutoff bet 2,000 on a flop of 7♥10♥A♠ and Aliaksandr Posled called in early position, as did Javier Montero in the hijack.

Montero then opened the betting on the 2♠ turn, making it 1,500 as both opponents stuck around to see the 6♦ river. Action was then checked around.

Posled instantly mucked his cards, while Montero showed A♣5♣ for top pair and the cutoff joined Posled in the muck.

Around 30,000 was already in the middle as Alexander Sokolovsky and Harcharan Dogra went to the river on a completed board of 4♦7♦J♠J♦6♣.

Sokolovsky then moved all in from the hijack and Dogra quickly called for around 20,000 from middle positon, showing Q♦8♦ for a flush. Sokolovsky, though, turned over 7♣7♥ for a full house to win the pot and send Dogra to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ariel Faskowicz raised to 1,300 in early position and picked up one caller before Patrick Gaonach three-bet to 5,000 on the button. Only Faskowicz called and they went heads-up to the 10♦8♦6♠ flop.

Gaonach then bet another 5,000 and Faskowicz called. The turn was the 10♠ and Gaonach moved all in.

Faskowicz, with around 35,000 remaining, only took a few seconds before sending his cards into the muck as Gaonach took down the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jesu Rozat and an opponent saw a flop of 9♣5♠3♦ where Rozat had a bet of 10,500 in front of him from middle position. His opponent then moved all in for 25,000 and Rozat called.

All-In Player: 10♠9♠ All in
Jesu Rozat: Q♣Q♠

Rozat covered his eyes as his queens had to hold up against the top pair of his at-risk opponent. The J♠ turn was safe, while the river was the 8♣ and Rozat scored the knockout.
